Win the pitch with presentation skills by experts Missing Link

Presentation specialists Missing Link will speak to both PR-Net in Cape Town and Johannesburg this month about how to give new business pitches and client presentations the zing that works. You may have read about them in Entrepreneur or Maverick magazines. They’re making waves: Managing director Richard Mulholland is also a blogger and will talk about its effectiveness as a self-marketing tool. Missing Link’s goal is to turn mediocre presentations into the ‘rock concerts’ of the business world and people who attend will learn how they do it. Richard will share case studies of how he won business from Standard Bank, Nokia, Absa, Mazda, Broll and Deloitte.

“If your company is trying to win a pitch, explain a complicated formula or simply lift morale, and your presentation is losing the audience, you’ve not only wasted your time, but you could have the opposite effect,” he says. Missing Link’s philosophy behind creating great presentations for its clients is aligned with its business model. “Anyone can throw together a few PowerPoint slides and call that a presentation, basically we're in business because many do."
